Matt Walsh's new film, Am I A Racist, opened this weekend to rave reviews, an 8.3 out of 10 rating on IMDB and 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.
"DEI is the next pillar of the woke mind virus that’s about to topple. DEI culture is one of the most toxic plagues in American life,” says one of the executive producers on the film, Jeremy Boreing.
We couldn't agree more.
In the movie Walsh exposes DEI “grifters, con artists and toxic influences” — like Robin DiAngelo, the author of “White Fragility,” the book that Greenwich administrators were required to read as part of a professional development struggle session in 2020.
DiAngelo felt compelled to issue a statement about her appearance in the movie, which includes an uncomfortable scene where she offers a token "reparations" payment to Walsh's cameraman who is black.
"Reparations are generally understood as a systemic approach to past and current injustice," said DiAngelo in the statement, noting it was "not her area of expertise" in an attempt to downplay the embarrassing scene.
"They will not prevail in their efforts to stop the work for racial justice," promised the notorious race-baiter who was paid $15,000 for her appearance in the documentary.
She positioned herself as a "victim" of Walsh's "carefully planned and well-funded" deception.
"Everyone in the film signed waivers agreeing to let us use the footage. Many of them were paid quite handsomely. They are not victims," said Walsh. "But they do have many victims of their own -- all the people who fall into the toxic, evil ideology they espouse."
We know at least 50 Greenwich Public School administrators were "victims" of DiAngelo's toxic brand of racism, thanks to the professional development initiated by Deputy Superintendent Ann Carabillo and Superintendent Toni Jones.
The organization used for the training, The Capitol Region Education Council ("CREC"), specializes in pushing equity and social justice, even in math lessons.
In fact, the very first word in CREC's mission statement is "equity."
The vision statement goes even further, describing CREC as an "anti-racist, social justice organization" that empowers people to "challenge systems of oppression" and "to demand equitable outcomes" for everyone.
Just to be clear what CREC means when it talks about racial equity, it provides a glossary of core terms.
CREC, which describes itself as a social justice organization, defines social justice as "a vision of society in which the distribution of resources is equitable” -- this sounds very much like a communist-style redistribution of wealth, and we know that never ends well.
Other definitions on the list reinforce overtly racist views held by CREC, for instance defining "whiteness" as a social and political construct based on beliefs, values, behaviors, and attitudes that results in "inequities in power and privilege based on skin color."
Telling white people they are privileged based solely on the color of their skin is, of course, blatantly racist and directly opposed to the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr, who envisioned a society where people were instead judged on the content of their character.
To recap, Jones and Carabillo hired CREC, a social justice organization that promotes racist views, to train 50 Greenwich administrators in these concepts, presumably with the hope these "anti-racist" learnings that actually perpetuate racism would be introduced into the classroom.
Exactly how much DEI-related professional development has been forced upon Greenwich administrators and educators? Is DEI training the reason why Central Middle School lists "equity" as one of its core values? Did CREC provide racist professional development services to Greenwich just that one time in 2020, or has the organization been used for other training?
We already know that other professional development efforts in Greenwich have addressed or plan to address DEI-related topics, like those promoting “social emotional learning” and using a "trauma-informed" lens.
And it's not exactly a secret that recent hires in the district (see here, here) are focused on equity and social justice because Jones uses equity and social justice as evaluation criteria.
We also know that instructional coach Valerie Bolling is focused on the equity agenda. She was even honored at a 2022 SERC conference on "Dismantling Systemic Racism" which gave out awards to educators who furthered the equity agenda in their districts. (You might also remember Bolling from her appearance at an event sponsored by a comedian known for making disgusting jokes about pedophilia.)
While Jones has denied that Greenwich teaches critical race theory, she's obviously gaslighting parents or perhaps she herself has been so brainwashed by the powerful Marxist equity propaganda that she doesn't realize what she's doing.
Either way, we believe that parents have a right to know what kind of professional development is being foisted upon Greenwich educators.
Yes, we know that filing a public records request will get us named and shamed on Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo's Monthly FOI Doxxing Report. That's okay, we think it's important to understand what kind of ideas are being injected into the classroom.
We requested copies of every contract and/or agreement Greenwich has had with CREC for any consulting, professional development or other services for the last five years.
We also requested a copy of every contract and/or agreement for professional development or training for Greenwich K-12 educators and administrators for the last two years.
Based on previous experience, the district has taken up to a year or longer to respond to records requests, so it might be a while before we have more insight into how Jones and Carabillo are transforming the district through professional development.
In the meantime, now that Walsh's Am I A Racist movie is in the headlines, be sure to ask other parents in the district if they are aware of how Greenwich indoctrinated administrators with "White Fragility" training and how Jones told a group of activists that she intended for Greenwich to become an "anti-racist" district.
